Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

“Well, this is also a special case.”

Mary nodded and agreed with Qiao Ran.

"Yuli, what do you think?"

She turned her gaze towards Yuri, wanting to ask for her opinion.

"Me?" Youli pointed at herself, then said "hmm" for a while, and finally, looked at Qiao Ran again.

"You said before that you were recognized by Galar's legendary Pokémon, and it even appeared in front of you. Is that true?"

"Of course."

Qiao Ran didn't comment, but secretly contacted Rotom and asked her to open a space crack on his side.

Qiao Ran stretched out his hand and pulled out an ancient long sword. This was the sword he had been holding in his hand before. However, because it was too heavy, Qiao Ran had not carried it with him recently.

Then, Qiao Ran took out a Poké Ball from his body.

"Click."

The moment the red and white sphere opened, a huge Pokémon with a wolf-like body instantly appeared in front of everyone.

Her body was covered with scars from battles, and just by looking at her weathered and sharp eyes, one could tell that her temperament was completely different from that of ordinary Pokémon.

Fight, fight.

It was as if something was urging them to fight, and the hearts of everyone present began to beat in time with the giant wolf's breathing.

This is the rhythm of war, the aura she carries with her after going through countless battles. Even if she is not in a fighting posture, this aura is subtly influencing the people around her.

"This is Sora Ayaka... Is this the hero who saved the world in the legend of Galar?"

Looking at the majestic blue giant wolf in front of her, Yuli's eyes seemed to be flashing with intense sparks.

She immediately turned her gaze to Qiao Ran.

"Alright! How about fighting me once? Just once!"

——At this moment, she had completely forgotten everything they had talked about before.

With such a good opportunity in front of her, how could she not fight?

This is the legendary Pokémon that has always appeared in Galar legends!

Chapter 254 250 [Duel]

For a trainer, nothing is more important than fighting, and at this special moment, fighting has unprecedented significance.

"Since we're going to fight, let's get the people of the town to watch."

Mary on the side also nodded. It was not only to satisfy Yuri's desire to fight, but also the battle with legendary Pokémon could increase everyone's confidence. The Yveltal sent by Qiao Ran last time had already proved this, and this time, Cang Xiang might have a better effect.

——Qiao Ran’s own fame and status will definitely reach an unprecedented level.

"Okay, come on!"

Yuli stretched her body and started doing warm-up exercises on the spot.

Judging from the looks of these people, they haven't considered the possibility that they will be rejected...

Qiao Ran shook his head helplessly.

However, he has also adapted to the thinking patterns of these Pokémon world trainers. The more they are the protagonists of this world, the more unprecedented passion and enthusiasm they have for fighting. Perhaps this is also the reason why they can make progress all the way, keep moving forward, and defeat one opponent after another.

The so-called original intention will eventually bloom into brilliant flowers.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran couldn't help but smile.

Isn't he the same?

"Then come on."

He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand. For him, this was also the first real "battle" between him and Cang Xiang. The last time they were in another world, it could only be considered a fight.

Qiao Ran also wanted to test how powerful Cang Xiang was. In future battles, Qiao Ran would definitely have to rely on her strength many times.

"It's started again..." Lillie, who was not a trainer, could only look at the scene in front of her with a helpless smile. She had seen this situation many times - two people would suddenly start fighting while talking.

Beside her, Mei's eyes were already filled with anticipation. When she saw Yuri, her trainer radar had already detected her - this was a very strong trainer. As for Qiao Ran, since it was a legendary Pokémon, its strength must be good.

This battle is absolutely exciting!

--------------------------------

"What's going on? Are we being notified to go to the training ground? Is there a concert?"

"How could it be a concert? It's a competition. A competition. Hey... there haven't been any concerts since Master Nie Zi left, right?"

"Contest……"

Spike Town, around the training ground.

At Mary's call, a large group of people quickly gathered in this small town. However, they all had a hint of doubt in their hearts. In this special period, they usually tried not to fight privately in order to conserve their energy to deal with the danger that might come at any time.

The so-called competition has not been held for a long time.

The last time... that was also an unprecedented special case, where they saw the only legend of the evil system - Yveltal.

Could it be that this time is the same as last time... or is there something else... ?

"No...no, that shouldn't be the case, right?"

No matter how much they believed in and admired Qiao Ran, who was recognized by Yveltal, they did not think that he could bring them the same degree of shock a second time. However, even so, being able to see Yveltal again was enough to make them excited.

Just thinking about it makes people feel relaxed, and even little Mary's resentment of hanging out with that guy every day has dissipated a lot.

Is this the feeling of being convinced?

"Here it comes, Mary...Mary!"

Soon, Mary appeared outside the training ground, causing quite a commotion. The fans even blew strange trumpet-like instruments to express their feelings at the moment.

Next to Mary was Qiao Ran and his group.

As soon as Yuli arrived at the training ground, she ran to the other end in a hurry. The enthusiastic audience gave her enough courage. She heard that the townspeople were not only shouting Mary's name, but some people were also shouting her name, which was not unrelated to her growing popularity.

"Come on, the battle is about to begin!"

As she spoke, she threw the Poké Ball in her hand, and a Pokémon with the appearance of a rabbit but looking like a human walking upright instantly stood on the ground.

This is her starting Pokémon, and one of Galar's three starter Pokémons - Flare Ace!

"I have trained all three of Galar's starter Pokémons, but this one has always been the strongest."

As if in response to Yuri's words, Flare Ace moved its body lightly, and a small stone was kicked into the air, turning into a fireball that kept bouncing on its toes like a football.

This is indeed a well-trained Pokémon.

When it was showing its stance, it was cheered by the onlookers. The Galar region has advocated competition since ancient times. In modern times, under the leadership of President Ross, the young people who have grown up recently have grown up watching the broadcasts of gym battles. This is also the reason why the Galar region can continuously attract residents from other regions to visit here - here are the most exciting competitions and the most powerful trainers, and that is enough.

"Okay then, I'll send out my Pokémon as well."

Qiao Ran stood still at the other end of the arena, and then, amid the exclamations of everyone around him, he threw the long sword in his hand high into the air.

"Ow—!"

A distant wolf howl was heard, and a blue lightning flashed across everyone's sight in an instant, catching the sword thrown by Qiao Ran and bringing up a strong wind pressure.

By the time everyone reacted again, a giant wolf-type Pokémon had appeared on the field.

The long sword that Qiao Ran was originally holding in his hand was now tightly bitten in the mouth of this Pokémon.

Not only that, her body was glowing slightly, as if some kind of physical change was taking place.

The scars visible to the naked eye on her body were gradually fading, and the originally dull mane was beginning to brighten.

It lit up, and on her back, two tufts of long golden hair rose up like wings, and the red hair on both sides wrapped around her like ribbons.

——All the makeup is washed away.

"this is……"

"What's this?!"

The appearance of the strange Pokémon caused everyone to exclaim in surprise, but more people had already noticed something.

Qiao Ran's sword has always been a household name in Spike Town, and Mary has repeatedly emphasized that only the "brave" can possess this sword.

However, at this moment, the sword was bitten in the mouth of a Pokémon.

——Could it be that this Pokémon is...!

Chapter 255 251 [King of Swords]

Cang Xiang - the sword king of Galar.

She was lightning-fast, sprinting across the battlefield like the wind. To humans, her fighting form was graceful and elegant, like an impromptu dance. Beyond her graceful form and gorgeous appearance, her strength was undeniable—before creatures struck by her sword felt pain, the battle was already decided.

This is reflected in the game that Qiao Ran has played. After biting the longsword and transforming, the racial value is as high as 720. This value has exceeded that of a number of first-line legendary Pokémon such as Yveltal, which is only 680 in normal state.

"However, we still can't underestimate the other side."

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the Pokémon sent out by the opposing Yuri this time was one of the only two Pokémon with attributes that could be restrained by Sora Aoi - Fire.

After entering the Sword King state, Cang Xiang's attributes are extremely powerful dual attributes composed of fairy and steel. She has a total of nine resistances and two invalidation attributes. Only ground and fire can cause a little interference to Cang Xiang. Other attributes can basically not cause any significant damage to her.

However, compared to his powerful attributes, Cang Xiang does not have many skills that he can learn and use. But in ordinary battles, having a few skills that can produce effects is enough.

"Could that also be a legendary Pokémon...?"

"This is something I've never seen before..."

"...But...why do I feel my body gradually getting hotter?"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Cang Xiang's appearance ignited the atmosphere at the scene. Her rising aura was like a sword drawn from its sheath, making everyone's chest beat with the sound of war drums.

"Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!!!"

Different from the attitude of the onlookers in Qiao Ran's world, people in the Pokémon world don't think that Pokémon they have never seen are "undiscovered species". They have been living with Pokémon since ancient times. If there are Pokémon that they have not discovered, there is only one possibility - those legendary Pokémon that are rare or the only ones in existence.

These Pokémon rarely appear in front of the world, and even witnessing their existence is a kind of luck. Only a very few people who are recognized by these Pokémon can become their partner trainers. Of course, the strength of these Pokémon has never disappointed people.

"So strong... so strong! Is this what it really looks like?"

Yuli's short hair fluttered in the wind, and the excitement on her face was obviously out of control and she began to act unrestrained.

No one could understand the feeling of seeing the legend you've longed for since childhood suddenly standing in front of you and wanting to fight you, right?

"Flame Ace, let's attack first!"

"Come on, Fireball!"

“…Guwu!”

Upon hearing Yuri's command, Flare Ace's white rabbit ears twitched, and its right leg began to move. It was one of Galar's three original Pokémon, known for its excellent physical fitness and explosive power. In particular, it had a unique special skill, and the name of this skill was what Yuri had mentioned before -

Fire ball!

The small stone was kicked by the Flash Ace and turned into a huge fireball in just one or two seconds. Then, the Flash Ace's body rose high and carried the fireball into the air. Finally, with a powerful side slam, the size of the fireball became larger again and flew towards Cang Xiang's position at an extremely terrifying speed!

"Whoosh!"

The air seemed to be filled with a burnt smell.

This attack was visibly powerful, but Qiao Ran did not intend to let Cang Xiang dodge directly.

The huge wolf looked back at Qiao Ran, and both of them nodded in tacit understanding, understanding each other's meaning.

Although they could communicate in their hearts, Cang Xiang seemed to prefer looking into his eyes and seeing his thoughts directly.

She won't run away. The moment she steps onto the battlefield, all she has to do is crush her opponent head-on. Her unique characteristic, the Indomitable Sword, also confirms this: whenever she appears, her attack power is increased, no matter when or where.

Qiao Ran seemed to be somewhat infected by Cang Xiang's fighting spirit. He used to be able to remain calm the more intense the battle was, but he actually roared loudly when he used his first skill.

"We're going too! Giant! Beast! Kill!"

“嗷

—"

Endless spots of light began to gather on Cang Xiang's sword. The bright light even surpassed the fireball created by the Flash Flame Ace. The long sword in Cang Xiang's mouth changed its shape again, becoming huge and full of power, shining with blue light.

She ran forward quickly, then leaped up and drew a sword in the air that made everything in the world pale in comparison.

"Zheng!!"
